Well, last night was Conan's final show on Late Night and on a week filled with great episodes Conan took his final seat behind his desk and gave a wonderful speech thanking everyone who helped him get this far. 3 months to wait but it will be worth it. Great job, Conan

And what made that final speech so great was this one line. "We're going on to this next gig, and sometimes I read that it's time for Conan to grow up because he's going to 11:30, and I assure you, that's just not going to happen."

Doctor Who?

Any time I see a clip of Conan he seems like one of the funniest guys alive and his Simpsons episodes are some of my favorites,but I can't see his show because there are no NBC stations anywhere near me.

I think Leno will "work" at 10 because his audience is getting older and going to bed sooner. Also, that's 5-10 fewer shows a week for which they have to hire actors, scriptwriters, producers, studio space, etc. Even if he brings in shit ratings, he has very little overhead. This is the wave of the future for network shows, I think.

Naw, his paycheck is the biggest overhead... that isn't getting any cheaper.

I think it will work for a while, but I don't see it lasting more than a couple years....although that is an interesting point about the cost-effectiveness of the show. I never watched him anyways, so I don't care too much. Conan's show was always so much better.

I wouldn't call Jimmy Fallon more talented than Jay Leno. Or anyone, really.

While I thought Fallon was a terrible SNL cast member, I can see him being an OK talk show host. He's amiable, goofy, and isn't a stranger to live TV and celebrities. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
